Now revised and expanded, Activity-Based Management covers the tools and
techniques needed to implement ABM as smoothly as possible and use it to its
maximum potential over the long-term. Along with revealing case studies from
companies across industries, this comprehensive resource includes thirty lessons to be
learned in three crucial areas: starting off right, developing the pilot, and moving from
pilot to mainstream.
For a frontline perspective, Activity-Based Management features revealing case studies
from various corporations. Presenting their experiences with ABM and activity-based
costing (ABC), these firsthand accounts examine a wide range of topics, including using
storyboarding to develop ABM systems, how to use ABM for profitability, using ABM to
support reengineering, and using ABC for target-costing, activity-based budgeting, and
benchmarking.
In addition, the next wave of tools are examined. These include customer profitability,
revenue profitability, performance management systems, target costing, and reporting
ABC information.
Packed with proven strategies and practical tips, this accessible and exhaustive
resource is indispensable reading for anyone looking to implement activity-based
management smoothly and successfully.
